weird era

howl is doing well. he eats well, pisses well, and poops well — the holy trinity of dog health. the surgery spot doesn't seem to bother him too much. he seems calmer than usual, though it's a bit eerie seeing him without his spark plugs. i just hope he isn't plotting a very quiet, very calm revenge.

but i just want to say, the best programming language now is english. most people just have an agent open and tell it to build something without understanding what is happening in the background. is this fair? do they deserve to be called an engineer or just an english major with a compiler? hell, they won't even need to know how to install and run a compiler — because ai will do it for them.

maybe i'm being too salty. i actually love ai — it's an incredible learning tool. it's like having a senior dev who never gets tired of your stupid questions. but just telling it to build something in plain english without writing a single line of code? that feels like ordering a pizza and telling everyone you're a chef. i guess i have an old school spirit.

there are many professional vibe coders out there — egotistical and cocky. honestly? i don't like the vibe.
